NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 1887.
AS usual at this time OF year many who have
been visiting Northern and Eastern summer re-
sorts have paused in New York before going to
their homes elsewhere, SO one who has many &C.
qualhtanceS Is sure to meet some Of them on the
streets or In the shops. There is q crowd every
where.
THE WILD CHILDREN FROM AFRICA.
OF all things or persons to be seen In New York
most wished to see the Wild child from Africa,
whom the newspapers call "He" but thus far
have not had the pleasure. When first read OF
the arrival OF the two wild children, who were
brought together, but one Of whom has since
died Conserved that Mr.. Reiche who had had them
conveyed 10 this country, had said he was obliged
house. This made me wonder what American In
dustry was thereby protected. But II wild Az
lcans are not on the free list 1t seems that British
clergymen are, In spite OF the number OF talented
young citizens OF this country who have been ed
ucated 1or the ministry, for since came to New
everything English includes q preference for min
isters born and educated In England TO Ill New
York pulpitS.
ENGLISH CLRRGYNEN IN NEW YORK PULPTTs.
the Following names have been given me OF
English clergymen now In charge Of New York
and Brooklyn churches, and my informant thought
1t quite likely that these were not all: Rev. Mr..
Rainsford, st. Georges; D. Parker Morgan, Church
OF the Heavenly Rest; DR.. John Hall, Of the Fifth
Avenue Pres6yterian church; DR.. Taylor, OF the
pecled this week to take charge OF the Church Of
the Holy Trinity; and Mr.. Courtney, who was
who has now been called to Boston. Wherefore,
since there Is no tax for revenue to the Govern
ment or protection TO our own industries on i'm.
ported d1vtnes, feel disposed to revive the Old
question, docs protection protect?"

magnificent home at Cazenoyia she has the Som

MRS. CLEVELAND AS A UNION WOMAN.
Twas much surprised to hear u distinguished
Army omcer, In referring to Mrs. Cleveland, ex-
press doubt as to whether she was as he put it,
ga good Union woman, which thought highly
ridiculous suggestion In reference to a lady who
was only about nine months old when the war to
preserve the Union closed. l was reminded, how
ever, OF now the old Louisville Journal used to
say during the war that "the ladies are all for
Cnion-to man, because Mrs. Cleyelands recent
letter declining to present the flags to the New
YORK hrenen on account OF her unwillingness TO
take prominent part In any public ceremony in
which her husband, the President, took none
shows that she is not willing to dissolve or set
aside even temporarily her union with the man
VINO stands at the head OF the nation, and that,
far as She is concerned it is union forever with
him, and they are one and 1nSeparabie.
The President, In his letter explaining Mrs
Cleveand's letter declining to present the nags

cllned 40 assume such public role entirely
Independent "a uer husband, anu not as an adjunct
or incident to something he was TO do" yet wrote
OF her decision as her act entirely '1ndepend-
ent" OF him. SO 1t seems she has, after all, in the
writing OF that most admirably-worded letter as
sulned, independent" or any one public role in
intoxicating that most excellent doctrine for the
benefit OF all married women who seek to make
themselves conspicuous before the public, without
regard to whether their husbands appear with
them or not.
